SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 786,650, dated April1905.

Application filed September 26, 1904. Serial No. 225,890.

To a/// iff/mm it may concern:

Be it known that l, ARTHUR KONSALTK, a subject of the Emperor ofGermany, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State ofPennsylvania, have invented anew and useful W'indOW, oi' which thefollowing is a specification.

My invention consists of an improvement in a window wherein the sashesare adapted to be rotated on horizontal axes, so that the outer faces ofthe sashes or panes ot' glass may be brought inside or within anapartment for purposes ot' cleansing, reglazing, repairs, Snc.

Figure l represents a front View of a window embodying my invention.Fig. 2 represents a perspective view ot' a portion ot' a meeting-railot' the window. Fig. 3 represents a vertical section ot' a detachedportion on an enlarged scale. Figs. 4 and 5 represent horizontalsections of the window on line ir fr, Fig. 6, certain portions being indiiierent positions. Fig. 6 represents a vertical section oi' a detachedportion. Fig. 7 represents a perspective View ot' one oi the shoesemployed. Fig. 8 represents a face View oi' the shoe seen in Fig. 6.Fig. 9 represents a horizontal section of a portion on line y y, Fig'.5. Fig. 10 represents a perspective view of one of the heads employedand adjacent portion ot' the sash chain or cord.

Similar letters ot' reference indicate lcorrespending parts in theiigures.

Re tei-ring to the dra sings, A designates the side stiles of awindow-frame, B the jam bs, and C the parting-rails. v

l.) designates the side stiles of windowsashes, the same occupying thejambs B and being each constructed of sections .E and F, the section Fbeing movably litted in the section E, so as to extend or distend thestile D, the normal position otl the section F being shown in Fig. 4l,where it projects somewhat backwardly from the section E and enters thejamb B, forming at the inner terminal of said section E the shoulder G,which overlaps the adjacent side wall of said jamb, as most plainlyshown in Fig. 4;, said section F being held in normal position by theaction ot' the spring H, which bears against said section and a [iXedportion of the section E, it being noticed that the section F is guidedin its motion and con nected with the section E by means of the pins J,which are secured to the sides otl the section E and pass through slotsK in the sides of the section F, as most plainly shown in Figs. 3 and 6.

l/Vithin the section E is the head or block L, the same having on itsinner end the neck or journal M, which freely enters the section F andhas attached to it by the loop N the sash chain or cord P.

Connected with the inner wall F oi' the section E is thevertically-arranged shoe Q, the same inclosing the back of the head orblock L and having in the center thereoll an opening through which theneck M freely passes.

ln the parting-rail C are the horizontal recesses R, which receive thela'terally-movable shoe S, whose normal position is between the jambs B,so as not to interfere with the usual raising and lowering of the StilesD, and consequentlyY of the window-sashes. (See Fig. e.)

1t will be noticed that the shoes (l), have their upper and lower wallsinclined and their inner side wall right-lined and that the shoeconsists of a series of vertically-extending ribs S and the back plateS2, with which said ribs are connected, said ribs having upper and lowerinclined faces and right-lined central sides and being separated fromeach other, forming the vertical passages S3, the respective one ot'which when the shoe is .shifted to the left or right receives the neck Mon the head or block L otl the upper or lower sash, as the case may be.

Referring to Fig. 5, it will be seen that the shoe S occupies a positionwhereby it receives the neck M ot' the head or block of the lower sash.

Should it be desi red to rotate the lower sash, said sash is raiseduntil its lower rail is fully above the shoe S. 'lhe latter is thenmoved from the position shown in Fig. i to the lett thereof, as shown inF 5. This places said shoe in the path ot' the shoe Q, when the sashbeing lowered said shoe Q contacts with and rides upon the shoe S, when,owing to the inclined faces of the contacting parts, the section F oftheside stile is moved, in the present case to the right or into thesection E, so that said 'ICO respective jalnb.

section F is fully outside of the side stile A ol the wind owdrame. Thispermits the lower sash. to be turned, the neck M having' its bearing onthe loop N of the sash chain or cord P and lreely revolving' on saidloop, whereby the outer face of the sash. may be brought into a room forthe purpose of cleansing, repairs, &c. Vr'hen the sash is returned toits normal position, as it is lowered the shoe Q passes the shoe S andis `released from contact therewith, when, owing to the springs H, theseetion Fis lorced outwardly or from the section E, said section F thenentering` its respective jainb l, again forming' a shoulder il, wherebythe stile l) is retained on the stile A, as usual.

Should it be desired to rotate the upper sash, the lower sash is raisedsu'liciently to uncover the shoe S, when the latter is moved through therecesses R, in the present case to the right of that shown in Fig'. Thisplaces the shoe Q in the path ol" the shoe S ol" the upper sash. Thenwhen the said upper sash is lowered the shoe Q contacts with the shoe Sand the neck M ol the head or block L of the upper sash enters theright-hand passage S ol. the shoe, when, owing to the inclined AFaces olsaid shoes, the section F is forced into the section F, and its backwall or terminal being outside of the side stile A oi' the window-sash.'llhis permits the upper sash to be rotated, the neck lll. ot' the heador block L o'l' the upper sash rotating' on the ring' N ot' the sash.chain or cord P ol the upper sash, the same as was occasioned in theprevious rotation of the lower sash. The upper sash is then returned toits normal position and raised, when as the shoe Q, is relieved of thepressure ot' the shoe t5 the section F ot' the side stile A is subjectedto the action ol' the spring lfl, thus also restoriugj` said section Fto its normal position and forcing' it into the rl`he shoe S may now bemoved from right to center again, as in Fig'. at, when the sashes may beraised and lowered without being' allected by the shoe S.

lhe h \.ad L has a vertical `'roove 'lf therein to interlock with a wallot' the `e'roove U in the section lll, thus connecting' said head withsaid section.

Having` thus described my invention, what l claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is"A A l. .ln a window, a side stile ol thewindow- `frame having a parting-rail provided with an openinghorizontally therethrough and a shoe litted in said opening,` andlaterally adjustable therein.

2. ln a window, a side stile of a sash Vformed 0l' sections, onestatimiary and the other movable thereon, ahead in the stationarysection, the same being provided with a journal, a shoe thewindow-frame, the same having an inclined tace which is adapted toengage the wall of the lirst-named shoe, and a plurality of separatedribs either passage between which being adapted to receive, saidjournal.

et. ln a window, a side stile thereof being 'Formed of stationary andmovable sections,a head in the stationary section secured thereto, saidhead having' a journal which freely enters the movable section, a shoein the stationary section back of said head and a laterally-adjustableshoe movable in the parting-rail of the wimlow-'l'rame and having'passages into either of which said journal may be located, said journalbeing mounted on an attachment ot' the saslrchain.

ln a window, a side stile of the 1frame thereof, a shoe movably littedon the meeting'- rail-thereo'l', a window-sash having' a side stileformed ol sections, one section being' movably litted to the othersection, and a shoe on said stile ol' said sash, the shoe of 'the framebeing adapted to be placed in the path of the shoe ol the sash, wherebythe movable section of the side stile of the sash may be operate l.

6. ln a window, a side Stile ot' the window- 't'rame having' a shoelaterally movable thereon and a side stile of the sash formed ofsections, one section beingl movably fitted to the other section and ashoe on the movable section whereby the shoe of either the upper orlower sash ol the window may be placed in the path ol the shoe ot' thewindow-frame causing' the shoes to engage for operating the movablesection of the stile el" either section.

7. ln a window adapted to be rotated, a side stile ot' a sash :formed olsections, one section being' movably litted to the other section, a headon said stile having' a neck thereon, a shoe on the side stile of thewindow-frame having an inclined lace and vertical passages therein, anda shoe on the side stile of the sash having` an inclined face, saidshoes being' adapted to contact, the shoe of the window-frame beinglaterally movable whereby the neck oi' either the upper or lower sashenters one of said passages.
